Carr was moving fine at practice earlier this week...Butler and Stampley are out for sure and it looks like Kemp will be limited with a hamstring strain this week...Bill looks doubtful as well

And in all games turnovers cost us the game along with [b]a bad fourth down decision[/b]. like it or not we should have won the game but we didnt. I honestly believe we should have kicked the fieldgoal. but with that being said say we kick the fieldgoal, that still gave gp over a minute and a few ticks left on the clock. i honestly can t say that our defense would have been able to hold the gp team from scoring again, the defense was a little better in the second half but i still say the secondary better step it up and  get  it together, they looked absolutely pathetic. But thankfully it is preseason and hopefully we can find someone who can defend the pass whether it is by holding tackling fouling what ever, my thinking is better to give up ten yards than give up the score over and over and over again. it was a great game even though we lost but it was an eye  opener  and should bring these kids back down to earth. Time to plan for Crosby and see if this doesnt light a fire under their butts, and i will close with this what is up with the swinging gate, surely they dont plan on using this garbage every week, i just absolutely hate the swinging gate lol just my opinion, thinking he is just showing everyone that it is just something else to have to try to stop , i dont know??????????? [/quote] You know guys, the only difference between a "bad" fourth down decision and a good one is if the play succeeds. A first down would have allowed PNG to burn up more clock time, GP got lucky and got the stop, same with Lumberton and a 4th and inches against Jasper. If the play had succeeded, Coach Faircloth would have been called the best coach ever.  ;) [/quote] Bingo...well said...if they had made it and went on to score, we would be hearing about what a genius the guy is by getting that first down and running the clock down to the bare minimum before PNG scored the winning points...keep in mind these decisions are not made hours and days after the game...they are made in a very short time frame by guys who know their personnel way better than any of the fans do

[quote name="surfer73" post="836341" timestamp="1283355760"] Nederland only because of Carson, Good kid, and he was purple and white before he was black and gold ! [/quote] What does that say about the purple and white if he left it???  Please get over yourselves  ::)

Dogs 24 GCM 17

[quote name="Jackthehammer" post="834673" timestamp="1283134896"] I talked with 3 Nederland guys this afternoon whoo said its time to get a new coach. Just passing this on to you other Nederland fans for debabe. [/quote] What are Moe, Larry, and Curly doing in town anyway and why do they care about Nederland football?  Please...how many coaches could have got that team into the playoffs last year after all of the injuries they had...for my money, I will stick with Neumann

[quote name="bulldogbasketball" post="834144" timestamp="1283068259"] as long as we have that old coach with us I'm going to say we will lose every game. [/quote] Wow???  go back to the basketball thread and I will take the over on your zero win projection...wow...if I was in a foxhole with you, I would shoot you first and fight alone and be better off...lol

without a doubt basebow and I couldn't agree more...it is not time for panic...I said in a preseason post that this time make take some lumps early due to having so many young players but will only get better as the season rolls on...I stand by that

[quote name="TexAgNDN" post="833047" timestamp="1283000039"] Looking at how PAM dominated Central, I'll make my Prediction.......10-0 baby!  Last year I predicted 9-1.  I think this years team is as good, maybe even better!  All the PN-G fans out there, get ready, it's gonna be a fun ride!   [/quote] Gosh dog it...you gotta hate when your mouth overloads your, well you know the rest  ;) ;)

[quote name="orangecoog" post="832398" timestamp="1282961801"] I thought Nederland was going to be more impressive. Not! [/quote] I thought you might have more class...not! Nederland got manhandled tonight and basically outrun by a much quicker/faster WOS team...lots of youth on this Nederland team and they will improve from here...first order of business is to try to get healthy in time for district...WOS has a lot of big play potential and it showed tonight and Nederland was certainly a victim of it...congrats to WOS on a well played game

[quote name="liltex" post="831255" timestamp="1282851962"] Let me guess they call him Popeye :D [/quote] now liltex, that's some funny stuff right there...good one! ;) ;D

Eugene would seriously lay the wood...he was one of those rare guys that you could HEAR hit people...also had some amazing years as a special teamer in Houston...the guy was just a great player

Fair enough...I modify my prediction to Dogs 17, WOS 14 then.

I agree that it should be tight...I am expecting big things from Nedeland's "D" this year...they show alot of promise...Dogs 17, WOS 12 (I hear they have kicking concerns)

Carson is gonna be fine and I think before he leaves NHS will end up being one of the best QBs we have had, but I have said that for a couple of years now...would I feel better if he had another year to groom?  Yes, but everbody has to have a first game sometime and this Friday will be his...Carson's skill set is built for this offense...he is athletic, has real good speed and he has a good arm to go with it...best of luck, Carson...we got your back  ;)

Forney...he also has a broken finger on his throwing hand

Huh???? ??? ???

The JV quarterback may be under center this Friday night. [/quote]Raines hurt? [/quote] No...Raines was the JV QB...kid is a real good athlete and will be fine...he is just getting a one year head start on his first varsity start

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="830061" timestamp="1282681614"] [font=Courier]Going all in that it rains this Friday....[/font] [/quote] voice of optimism...lol...gotta bust your karma for that hoop ;)

LU just added to very solid defensive players that should be able to help pretty quickly...nice!

This would certainly be a nice pickup for LU

Nederland did look good, particularly on defense which is encouraging because we have struggled there in the recent past...Nederland is MUCH bigger on the d-line than in past years with far better speed as well...Marshall really did pretty much nothing against Nederland with the exception of a long TD run on the first play during game conditions...Nederlands offense still has some things to work on but Dionte had two big play TD passes to Schlett and Salenga, which is what this offense is all about, and I thought Kemp was very effective running the ball...he had a really solid game there...take scrimmages for what they are worth...I could care less about the score and am only concerned with how the team looks...Nederland will certainly be improved from last year...great mix of senior leadership and young talent

not likely...Nederland has more depth this year

Overall, I would say that Nederland will be noticably bigger and more athletic than last year...both lines are quite a bit bigger than in recent years

more than likely a junior to be named later...he and Kemp are getting the reps right now
